Steidlmayer Law was established by Leo Steidlmayer in 1979.

Leo began his career as a deputy district attorney in Butte County before moving to a private firm in Chico.  In 1979, Leo returned to his hometown of Colusa to start his own practice. Leo has now transitioned into the role of “Of Counsel” and is valued for his practical and solution oriented advice. 

A veteran courtroom litigator specializing in estate and criminal matters, Leo most enjoys meeting with clients and helping them through the court process.  Outside of the courtroom, Leo has a following as an estate planning and real estate attorney.  Leo has professional relationships with a wide network of other attorneys; if a client’s needs fell outside of his area of expertise, he worked to recommend someone else who might better suit the client’s purpose.  

Born and raised in Colusa with a long family history in the area, Leo is deeply invested in our community.  He is a former member of the Knights of Columbus and the Colusa Rotary Club.  Most prominently, he can be seen at the City of Colusa tennis courts practicing his serve and encouraging others in his love of the sport.  

Leo earned an undergraduate degree and played basketball at Santa Clara University (Class of 1967).  He attended law school at the University of California, Davis.  

In 2013, Leo was joined in practice by his youngest son, Luke. Leo’s daughter-in-law, and Luke’s wife, Erin, joined the firm in 2014. 

Leo has now transitioned into the role of “Of Counsel” and is valued for his practical and solution oriented advice.
